Diary of a Loner (Man on the Moon) Lyrics by Alex Ruffin

0

[Verse 1: Alex Ruffin]
(whats a loner? someone who doesn't need other people around to validate their own existence...that's me)
What I gotta do just so they can understand
I drift from my reality just to reach another land
Whats my other land?
Its full of words, got adjectives, similes, and a bunch of metaphors
I try to catch em and put em up in a sentence
If I die you have my songs just so I can be remembered
I know what its like struggling just to fit in
All I had to do was be myself with no scripting
I ain't acting, I ain't putting up a front
I'm just running to my dreams but naa I ain't Forest Gump
Told myself I wouldn't look back I'm jumping over bumps
Running over everything in my path I got scuffed
Ain't nobody really show this buddy love
Till I klumped together words now they wanna show me love
Why is that? I really don't know
A wise cat told me I got something to show so I
[Hook: I got a gift ima share it with the world, since the world is my oyster do I get to keep the pearl] (4x)
(ima ima loner, that just gave me more time to myself, I got a chance to be me believe it or not, I didn't have to put on a front for a million people to accept me, you know what I mean? and I'm proud of that....nigga)
[Verse 2: Alex Ruffin]
Back in high school i'd buy mad sneakers
I realized I did it just so I could feel equal
I grew mature, embraced being an outcast
Sneakers don't phase me anymore cause I outlast
Fell in love with music I pour my heart out
I coulda been doing drugs and drinking that's a dark route
(hold up, hold up, hold up, I just wanna talk right now. All this time through out school I was looking to be accepted from someone or something and I realized sometimes its better to be yourself. Abstract means apart from concrete existence and I was the loser in school. So losers get ignored. That explains my name. I guess I feel like I'm here but I'm not here if that made any sense. Thank You)
